Resetable Trap? Created 19 years ago2005-02-15 07:43:37 UTC by LittleTortilla

In my mp map I have this platform you can walk on and its tied to a func_physbox. One of the supports can be destroyed by shooting an explosive barrel next to it. the platform falls and if you were on it, chances are it will fall on top of you and crush you. I was just wondering if it is possible for me to make it reset after a certain amount of time?

nope. You cant reset a physics prop after the game has moved it using physics. And becasue, from what i hear, you have a breakable, it really cant be reset.

Also would'nt it look odd to see the platform suddenly reappear?

Just make a trigger to make sure it kills you. Why do you need it to reset anyway?

Just so in mp games you can have more fun with it other then a one time use. Habboi, there is also ways to set it up so you can forcespawn only when noone is looking at it, atleast I remember I could from working with the explosive barrels using a math_counter and and point_template.

but still, its pyhsics. Wont work.

Sorry do you mean HL2 DM? If you do I see why you need it now but I cannot help cause I dont do that shit.

my, my, what language.

Yeah for the canyonoasis map im doing, but as iemc states its just not possible to reset physics traps. That map needs alot work lol, i just did a total texture revamp of it and its looks 1000% better. Im kinda embarrased of b1 now. I'll post new pics of it shortly at my site.
